Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid Heaven Festival, originated from the worship of natural phenomena and evolved from the worship of dragons in ancient Jidai Matsuri.

During the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, the seven constellations of the Canglong flew up to the central sky in the south, occupying the most "central" position throughout the year, as stated in the fifth line of the Qiangua in the Book of Changes: "Flying dragons are in the sky”

The Dragon Boat Festival

When it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, many people think of a person who is Qu Yuan, the great patriotic poet of the state of Chu.It is said that on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Qu Yuan heard that Chu had been defeated by the Qin army. He was very sad. After writing his last novel Huaisha, he threw himself into the Miluo River to die for his country.

After the people learned about it, they carried ships to retrieve Qu Yuan's body, but there was no result.

In order not to let the fish eat his body, they took rice balls wrapped in zongzi leaves from home and threw them into the river. Later, it became the custom of eating Zongzi.

The Dragon Boat Festival

On Dragon Boat Festival, our country has the custom of wrapping Zongzi, racing dragon boats, and hanging calamus.

There are many kinds of Zongzi, including ham zongzi, three fresh zongzi, pine nut zongzi, lotus seed zongzi, corn zongzi, etc

Zongzi tastes different, including salty, sweet and spicy

People in different regions also have different ways of cooking, steaming, and braising

However, the meaning of eating Zongzi is unchanged, and it is in memory of Qu Yuan

Dragon boat racing is also one of the important customs on Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that during the Warring States period, the people of the State of Chu were reluctant to let Qu Yuan, a wise minister, fall into the river and die. They rowed to rescue him. They chased him to Dongting Lake but could not find Qu Yuan's trace, so it came into being.

Every Dragon Boat Festival, new dragon boat races attract many people to watch. On the competition field, ten people rode on a dragon boat in groups, using their feet to control the speed and direction of the boat. Everyone chased after each other, shouting one after another, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense and enthusiastic.
